Get the Leisure Class mug.Instinctual Eating. A dietary fad.
Instinctos are fanatical adherents of the Cro-Magnon diet. No seriously. Instinctos only eat fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, insects, seafood, meats and anything that they "instinctually" hunger for. As long as what they are instinctually hungering for is totally raw and unprepared in anyway (no spices and no mixing of foods).
While having much in common with their fellow health store nutjobs (raw-foodists, adherents of the so called paleo-diet, primal diet, vegetarians and vegans) they are often viciously derided by them for consuming the raw flesh of animals.
It can be said that zombies adhere to a strictly instincto diet.

I am so sick of trying to cater to people's trendy diets. Melissa went from being a vegan to an instincto and now we can't go out to eat at any restaurants. Her idea of dinner is grazing in a field or disemboweling rabbits.

Get the Instincto mug.Meat hipsters used to be vegetarians (when it was trendy), then vegans (when it was trendy). Now they are meat hipsters or "sustainable" & "conscious eaters".
Meat hipsters ritualize charcuterie, butchery, back-to-the-land farming and the myth of the pastoral agrarian paradise. They take classes in how to cut up whole hogs, composting and permaculture.
A school of thought brought to the masses by Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food".

Wow! Check out Anne stripping the meat off those BBQ ribs!
To think that she was a preachy vegan like two months ago and now she's an unabashed meat hipster... What will it be next? Eating kosher?

Hey Team -
I had to let Claire O'Malley go today.
Having subscribed to some new-found "chestist" belief of having to "get everything off her chest" and "speaking her own truths" does not give her a free pass to make offensive remarks about co-workers or management. If anyone has a problem with this decision, don't let the door hit you in the ass.

"My roomate is a real fun killer."
"Judy, when you mention your yeast infection when I'm all hot & bothered, it's a real fun killer."
"The cops showing up when we are chucking bottles off the balcony is a real fun killer."

Get the Fun killer mug.(n) Bakefeets is an American bastardization of the Dutch word for "box bicycle": bakfiets.
Bakefeets are trendy bikes or trikes with a box mounted on the front. They can be seen in most "progressive" cities and are used by greener-than-though glamour MILFs to schlep their groceries and crotchlings around.

I.AM.SO.FUCKING.SICK. of smug yuppies hogging the entire road with their bakefeets going 0.2 mph.
Why the hell did she pay $5,000 for a bakefeets when she already has a Burley bike trailer gathering dust in your garage?

Get the Bakefeets mug.(n) Not to be confused with the Hipster Beard, or the Charles Manson Beard, the American Taliban Beard is a full beard worn with a shaved head.
Named after John Walker Lindh, the "American Taliban" homegrown terrorist who is serving a 20 year sentence for joining the Taliban and fighting against the US in Afghanistan.
Muslim men who are performing the Hajj to Mecca and Jihadis who are planning to commit suicide bombings often shave their heads, but leave their beards so that they are clean when they ride the magic carpet to Allah and their 72 virgins.

The American Taliban Beard is the laziest haircut a man can have. Never have to comb your hair & never have to shave.
